I2s DSD

If you want to get I2s from your Oppo you need to get an I2s board from Oppomod.com  https://www.oppomod.com/index.html

The Chinese black box will only separate audio from video afaik, no I2s.

There is no cable standard for I2s at present so either stick with the same manufacturer or get Chinese cables that allow you to swap conductors, but their SQ maybe not so good.

@aswill thank you for a great reply, looks like we're on the same mission. Seems that you confirmed my suspicions that the PS Audio SACD transport will not "handshake" with other DACs, and other high end DACs are not allowing it. Which really is a shame.

@mahler123 I have been doing plenty of research and I found that native DSD is possible when fed into a Linux DAC, either from a compatible server/streamer or PC/Mac over USB.

Now I have Teac DAC that I'm going to test that I believe is compatible but I undertand that the Mola Mola Tambiqui fits the bill.

The Sonore will, it seems will send a converted USB DSD signal directly into a I2s DAC, without DOP being involved.

@doni The Sonore is a Digital to Digital converter, so if your USB from your streamer or whatever can carry native DSD you can convert it to I2s using the Sonore Ultra Digital. Some DACs will not process native DSD over USB without converting it to PCM and many streamers don't have an I2s out connection. It's just another option.
